Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) fue uno de los intelectuales más importantes del siglo veinte y podría decirse que fue el escritor cristiano más influyente de su tiempo. Fue profesor particular de literatura inglesa y miembro de la junta de gobierno en la Universidad Oxford hasta 1954, cuando fue nombrado profesor de literatura medieval y renacentista en la Universidad Cambridge, cargo que desempeñó hasta que se jubiló. Sus contribuciones a la crítica literaria, literatura infantil, literatura fantástica y teología popular le trajeron fama y aclamación a nivel internacional. C. S. Lewis escribió más de treinta libros, lo cual le permitió alcanzar una enorme audiencia, y sus obras aún atraen a miles de nuevos lectores cada año.

This book is fascinating and written by a master storyteller. The allegory contains so many levels of meaning, and you emerge at the end of the story with a much deeper sense of Truth and inspiration than before you started.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Splendid Sail
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2010

The Voyage of The Dawn Treader is a classic sea story comparable to Homer's Odyssey. It starts shortly after where Prince Caspian ends, and we encounter both ferocious sea serpents and harsh opinionated humans, yet unconditional love triumphs over all. Most fascinating of all is Reepicheep the valiant mouse who bravely encounters and befriends a dragon - his natural enemy! We see the imperfections in Caspian and Lucy and are reminded that they are every bit as human as are we. Best of all, it is a delightful read. I enjoy taking Voyage of the Dawn Treader to the beach and read it while listening to the waves! As the movie is being released soon, I believe it wise to read the book first, or right after. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader belongs on the bookshelves of those who wish to sail into a delightful saga of the sea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very imaginative and quite funny!
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2008

"The Voyage of the Dawn treader" may be my favorite book in the "Chronicles of Narnia". Many of the other reviewers have made comparisons, however I see it a little differently. I am reminded of Swift's "Gulliver's travels" and its imagination and satire. Obviously, the Lewis has updated the satire and changed aspects of the story - but both have the same sense of adventure.

Another added bonus to "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is the humor. Several of the chapters are very, very funny. The land "of the invisible people" comes to mind as an especially funny section.

In truth, Lewis has included all of the ingredients for a fine novel, humor, high adventure, coming of age, and moral decisions. The plot is nicely woven together and doesn't seem to jump as much as "Prince Caspian" and some of the others, so in my opinion "Voyage" may also be the best written of the books in the series.

Final tally
- Humor "A"
Adventure "A"
Writing style "B+"

Overall - "A" - a very solid read and sure to be one of your child's favorites!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic for a Reason
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2019

As a fan of C.S. Lewis's writing, I must confess to no small bias.
This is either the third or fourth book in the Narnia series, depending upon how you count. As such it is much easier to follow after reading the first few books in the series.
Overall, this and the other stories hold up well. A few things might need explaining to American audiences ("torch" means "flashlight"), and the analogies might be missed. There is a certain amount of predictability and Deus ex Machine (Aslan ex Machina?)
The story starts with Lucy and Edmond staying with their Aunt & uncle and know-it-all prat cousin, Eustace. As usual, they are transported to Narnia, or at least into that world 's ocean very near a Narnian ship. They meet up with some friends of Lucy and Edmond and join in their exploration and adventures.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in the series
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2014

The Chronicles of Narnia has been one of my favorite series since childhood, and even now that I'm middle aged (plus) I still enjoy reading these books every so often. This book is SO much better than the recent movie version. Whoever wrote the screenplay should have been truer to the book, because it didn't need embellishment. I came out of the movie theater scratching my head and wondering what I'd just seen because it wasn't The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. There are so many enjoyable adventures in the book. From the smallest episode like the close shave with the sea monster to the retired star Coriakim's island the book has plenty of adventure for younger readers, or those like myself who can still remember being young. It brings back the idea of the possibility of encountering something unknown, the thrill of discovery.

Great book! Loved reading it to my kids. Only thing worth mentioning though is that throughout the book there is the same misprint where they write Asian instead of Aslan. Could lead to confusion if this is the first narnia book you read.

3.0 out of 5 stars I preferred the movie to the book.
Reviewed in Australia on January 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
I found this book a disappointment, probably because I only knew it as the source material for the movie, which I love.

In the main story, Caspian is off on a year-long journey to find seven missing Lords when Edmund, Lucy and their cousin, Eustace Scrubb, are sucked into a painting and end up bobbing around in the ocean of the coast of Narnia. After scooping the former King and Queen of Narnia out of the sea, they all join together to have an adventure. The main components of the film are in the book - although some of the scenes are well out of order to how they appear in the book.

This is one of those rare occurrences where the film is better and more engaging than the book. Also, is it just me, or is Aslan turning nastier as each book progresses?

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is worth reading as a part of The Chronicles of Narnia, but go into it with an open mind.
